The main thrust of diagnostic MR imaging is to discern normal and pathologic patient morphology and function. Intraprocedural imaging, however, serves a different goal: to furnish the surgeon or interventionalist with updates on intraoperative changes and how they may modify preintervention data. Although researchers have not established whether MR image-guided therapy can improve clinical outcomes and reduce complication rates definitively, the intraoperative and preoperative data generated will improve the ability of every neurosurgeon to navigate in the surgical field more accurately.
诊断性磁共振成像的主要目的是辨别患者的正常和病理形态及功能。然而，术中成像有着不同的目标：为外科医生或介入医生提供术中变化的最新情况以及这些变化如何改变干预前的数据。尽管研究人员尚未确定磁共振图像引导治疗是否能最终改善临床结果并降低并发症发生率，但所生成的术中及术前数据将提高每位神经外科医生在手术区域更精确操作的能力。
